I put the cat among the pigeons with my query about the Lawrence/Laurence Church name spelling, but was delighted to read three such different responses.

Thank you to Harold Mozley, Elizabeth Hardcastle and, last but not least, Tim Jones, the parish priest; interesting comments, all of them. What a lovely bunch of people the readers of the letters page must be for taking the time and effort to write.
